Samsung confirms Galaxy S25 Ultra Bluetooth S Pen tease was a mistake
Galaxy S25 Ultra won't support Bluetooth S Pen after all, despite Samsung's recent blog post.
- Last week, Samsung published a blog post about Galaxy S25 Ultra S Pen productivity.
- That post included a passage referencing the phone’s support for Bluetooth-equipped S Pen accessories, contrary to Samsung’s earlier comments.
- Samsung now clarifies that this post was in error, and the S25 Ultra does not support any Bluetooth S Pen interactions.
Samsung’s first big smartphone launch of the year has finally taken place, and soon Galaxy fans will be getting their hands on the first deliveries of S25 hardware. While there’s a lot to like from this generation, it’s not without its controversies, and one that’s been receiving a fair amount of attention concerns the decision to downgrade S Pen functionality. Over the weekend, we got some news that made it sound like this downgrade might not be as severe as initially thought, but Samsung has now clarified with Android Authority that Bluetooth S Pen support is truly gone from the Galaxy S25 Ultra.
When Samsung announced the Galaxy S25 phones last week, it told us the S25 Ultra would arrive without its S Pen offering Bluetooth connectivity. This meant that users wouldn’t have access to features like Air Actions and using the S Pen as a camera remote shutter. While not having that on the phone’s built-in S Pen was bad enough, the company also told us that the S25 Ultra wouldn’t support Bluetooth S Pen interactions even if you got your own Bluetooth-equipped stylus, like the S Pen Pro.
